Grin and Bear It: Some of Our Favorite Literary Bears

January 18th marks the birthday of A. A. Milne, who is best known as the creator of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh. In celebration, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite literary bears from children’s books. Fair warning: Some of the fuzzy friends on this list are unbearably cute.

Elizabeth was an American Studies major at Georgetown University, and is currently getting her MFA in nonfiction writing at Columbia University. She spends entirely too much time and money at the Strand, where she once saw Daniel Radcliffe. Her current obsession is the My Struggle series by Karl Ove Knausgaard, and she thoroughly embarrassed herself when she met him shortly after the release of volume four (and she has the photos to prove it).
